Not exactly an unknown, but not a household name either despite his accomplishments.
20 years in the big leagues, 2705 career hits, a .296 lifetime batting average, 5 All Star appearances, a 1945 World Series title (during which he had 11 hits and a .379 average), and a fielding average way above league norms (for which he earned the sobriquet "Flit" playing on the old-time insect repellant, which was "death to flying things.")
They
do love him in his old stomping grounds in Manahawkin, NJ, though!
